Chelsea held to goalless draw by Hacken in Women’s Champions League

Chelsea Women remain unbeaten in the Women’s Champions League but were held to a goalless draw by Hacken in Gothenburg.

Sonia Bompastor made six changes following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Everton, and her side struggled to find a way through a well-organised Hacken defence.

The Blues thought they had taken the lead twice in the first half, but efforts from Wieke Kaptein and Melvine Malard were both ruled out for offside.

Alyssa Thompson came closest to a winner in the 71st minute, rounding goalkeeper Jennifer Falk after being played in by substitute Manaka Matsukubo, only for her shot to be cleared off the line.

Maika Hamano, another replacement, clipped the top of the bar from an Ellie Carpenter delivery as Chelsea pushed for a late goal.

But it was Hacken who almost snatched victory with three minutes left, when Maja Bodin got clear of Veerle Buurman and was denied by Liv Peng.

Bompastor was booked late on, while Potter was also shown a yellow card before being substituted.

The result leaves Chelsea with eight points from four games, putting them second in the league-phase table behind Barcelona for now.

Their remaining league-phase games are against Paris Saint-Germain and Leuven.
